(AMERICAN REVOLUTION--PRINTS.) George Washington, Esqr., General and Commander in Chief of the Continental Army in America.
(AMERICAN REVOLUTION--PRINTS.) George Washington, Esqr., General and Commander in Chief of the Continental Army in America. Mezzotint, 14.5 x 10.5 inches, by an anonymous engraver after "Alexander Campbell of Williamsburgh in Virginia"; minor foxing, pinhole in upper margin, faint vertical crease through image near right margin. [London]: C. Shepherd, 9 September 1775
- Notes: Another of the stylized Shepherd prints of Washington. This one depicts him on horseback with a drawn sword as his troops repel a British charge in the background. A copy of this print was sent to the Washingtons a few months later. General Washington replied politely, describing the subject of this print in the third person: "Mr. Campbell, whom I never saw to my knowledge, has made a very formidable figure of the Commander-in-Chief, giving him a sufficient portion of terror in his countenance."--Morgan & Fielding 53. Hart, Portraits of Washington 721.
